EMORY, Va. – Washington and Lee sophomore forward Hamill Jones (Richmond, Va./St. Christopher's) scored a career-high 32 points as he set a school record by making 15-of-16 shots from the floor during Wednesday evening's 76-75 loss at Emory & Henry.

Jones' performance broke the old mark set on Feb. 11, 1982, when Frank Eppes hit 10-of-11 shots during a 78-61 victory over Shenandoah.

The Generals extended their halftime advantage to as many as 10 points in the second half and held a 63-55 lead with 8:49 to play in the game. However, the Wasps closed the game on a 21-12 run, as W&L was held to four points in the final 5:13. E&H forward Cortez Watson split a pair of free throws with 1:14 left to put the Wasps up by one point at 76-75. It proved to be the game-winner.

Junior guard Toussaint Crawford (Laurel, Md./St. Vincent Pallotti) tied his season-high with 16 points. Junior guard John Warren (Greenville, S.C./Wade Hampton) and freshman center Mark Franceski (Moscow, Pa./North Pocono) each tallied nine points in the losing cause.

The 75 points marked a season-high for the Generals.
